Finca Carpe Diem Ecolodge, hotel in Minca

Located alongside a crystalline river and surrounded by the jungle and mountain views, Finca Carpe Diem Ecolodge offers accommodations 11 mi from Santa Marta and 8.7 mi from Tayrona Park.

Had a lovely stay, particularly loved the 3 swimming pools with great views from the top pools. Our room had air con which was very quiet and kept us cool and stopped the room getting damp. Lots of self-guided walking options and also a guided waterfall tour which I enjoyed. The food was also great

Hostal Vista Verde Minca, hotel in Minca

Hostal Vista Verde Minca features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Minca. Providing a bar, the property is located within 12 miles of Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino.

Hostal Vista Verde is a stunning hostel with incredible views of the valley and the surrounding nature. It isn't far from the Pozo Azul (a beautiful 45 minute walk) but it is far from the main town of Minca so you will rely on the hostel for food which was okay. We enjoyed hanging out in the hammocks and watching the birds in the surrounding trees - we saw two type of toucans, loads of hummingbirds and could hear a pygmy owl hooting at night. Two nights was a good amount of time to stay given its remote location. You will need to take a moto taxi from the main square to reach Vista Verde but it was worth it.

They cancelled last minute with a call saying that we were already warned that they didn't have availability. We booked through Booking, how would we be warned? Simply irrational...

The location is amazing, you are 5 min walk from Minca which is super nice. And the staff is super cool. The place had a massive pool, but they needed to do some repairs cause the level was dropping so no fault to them.

    I just loved this hostel. It was by far the best hostel we’ve stayed in South America on our 3 month trip. The room was amazing and felt like a luxurious hotel (we were in the private bedroom with a balcony). We have started to dread the free hostel breakfasts on our trip but this one was amazing as it wasn’t buffet style, we could order off the menu. The food and drinks prices were really reasonable considering you couldn’t buy your food from anywhere else! I would highly recommend adding this hostel to your Columbia itinerary.

    Great location, really comfy beds. If you want a quiet place to relax and chill then this is the spot for you. It feels like you've rented a house, really enjoyed having the big kitchen. The wifi was great, and I was able to work during the day around the hostel and even from my bed. Also the property has 4 mango trees, which comes with an unlimited amount of free mangos all day.

    Great hostel in the middle of Getsemani. We booked a private room which was quite pricey and did not have a window. However, we still enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hostel as it is super new and clean and at a great location. Some of our fellow travellers said that some of the dorms are small and others are not.
